Airmar B175C-20-HW 20d Tilt With No Connector MM Cable

The Airmar B175C-20-HW 20° tilt transducer with bare wire connector is purpose-built for anglers and boaters who demand accurate bottom structure mapping and real-time water temperature data in shallow to moderate depths. This wide-beam chirp transducer pairs high-frequency clarity with reliable dual-frequency performance, making it an ideal choice for freshwater anglers targeting structure, as well as coastal boaters who need precise depth readings and thermocline detection. The 20-degree tilted element design reduces deadzone interference near the hull, giving you cleaner bottom images and faster target acquisition.

The B175C operates across a high-frequency CHIRP range of 150 kHz to 250 kHz with 100 kHz of total bandwidth, delivering exceptional resolution on structure, baitfish, and hard bottom composition. Its 25-degree constant beamwidth maintains consistent coverage across all operating frequencies, eliminating the cone-compression issues common in narrower designs. The integrated fast-response water-temperature sensor provides instantaneous thermocline detection—critical for following seasonal fish migration patterns. At 12 pounds, this transducer installs directly to your hull or transom bracket via the supplied bare wire (MM cable), giving you complete flexibility in wiring integration with your existing fishfinder electronics.

Experienced anglers favor the B175C for tournament bass boats, panfish lakes, and multi-species freshwater operations where bottom hardness differentiation and weed-edge clarity matter most. Boaters working coastal flats and inland reservoirs benefit from the tilt bracket's ability to reduce cavitation and turbulence noise during high-speed runs. The bare wire configuration ensures compatibility with modern Airmar-certified fishfinder displays and legacy sounder systems alike, provided your display supports CHIRP protocol. Installation requires basic marine wiring knowledge and a secure transom mount; consult your fishfinder manual for proper frequency calibration and sensitivity tuning to maximize performance in your specific water column.
